Biswadip Mandal is an applied scientist with nine years of experience building production-ready NLP and ML systems, currently focusing on LLM fine-tuning at Amazon in Seattle. He combines a strong academic foundation—MS thesis work on scientific document summarization with publications at NAACL 2022 and LREC-COLING 2024—with hands-on industry impact across fraud prevention, product retrieval and ranking, and clinical NLP. At Staples he progressed from engineer to MLE III, and his open-source contributions include meaningful improvements to the popular AutoKeras AutoML library, adding type hints and enhancing structured-data and transformer/RNN block integration. Comfortable moving between research and engineering, he leverages mathematical approaches to ML and a publication record (Google Scholar profile) to inform practical model design. An IIT Bombay chemical engineering alumnus who pivoted into machine learning, he brings cross-disciplinary problem solving and a track record of shipping models in both startup and large-company settings.
